About The Teams & Role

Our vision for the people we work with is for them to lead full and active lives where they are supported to be independent as far as they can be. We want people to have choice and control over the services and support they receive and have access to services that use resources creatively. To help us to achieve our vision we focus on making Adult Social Care a place where people want to work and feel supported to deliver quality practice so they can focus on people first.

We have full time and part time Social Worker opportunities across Gloucestershire in our Adults Social Care Services. Our locations include Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cotswolds, Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean.
